Freesia Fischerii 





Mr. Alex. Anderson, well knawn 

 Freesia grower of Manhasset, L. 1., 

 under date of July 5, 1920, writes: 



Very favorably impressed with both 

 the flower and bulb increase »t 

 Ii'REESIA FiHcherii. I wish you to 

 book my order for ten thousand 

 bulbs. 



I wish also to say a word In 

 regards to liHcheril; do not plant it 

 close; last season I planted part of 

 them Just like I do Purity or any 

 of the colored sorts and I was some- 

 what disappointed with them, as I 

 told you early this year. I had an- 

 other lot planted Just twice as far 

 apart, having noticed that FlsehepU 

 branches; this other batch flowered 

 beautifully, some bulbs producing five 

 to six flower spikes from the one 

 bulb. 



I like to say that FiscberM is far 

 ahead of Purity or Improved Purity 

 and after this season I expect to dis- 

 card all the other whites in favor of 

 FlBcheiil.

The PiUaburrt Cut Flower 

 writes under oafe et July 7: 



Our President, Mr. Burki, brought 

 our attention to this wonderful FVee- 

 sia, having seen It grow in Mr. 

 Fischer's place, and his report te us 

 Hlso speaks of its commercial value 

 and it being a wonderful flower, etc. 



Mr. Fischer States : 



"After introducing Purity I turned 

 my attention to producing a still bet- 

 ter Freesia by eradicating the yellow 

 spot. At first it seemed a hopeless- 

 undertaking, but I have succeeded 

 and the result Is a Freesia of won- 

 derful purity; rarely is a trace •( 

 yellow seen; the flowers are very 

 large, measuring two inches across; 

 more like Lilies than like Freesias ta 

 size and purity of color. The stems 

 arc long, strong and stiff; It is most 

 prolific in bloom, many of the kulbs 

 sending as many as four stems. Net 

 being a single type. It comes Into 

 bloom more gradually than Purity, 

 the crop lasting more than two weeks 

 longer in bloom; is not affected by 

 hot spells, so that the cut Oower In 

 Always a fine large bloom of good 

 substance." 



E. Fardel of Great Neck, N. T., 

 himself famous these many years for 

 his colored Freesias, paid a visit to 

 Rudolph Flpcher at San Gabriel, 

 Calif., in March, 1918, while on a trip 

 through that State. Of this mew 

 Freesia he wri tes: 



"I saw there FREESIA Ftseherll In 

 all its glory; I can say I was amazed 

 by Its statellness and its clear oolor. 

 It towers above Freesia Purity In 

 every respect, as to stem, slae of 

 bloom, texture and purity of oolor. 

 Its appearance speaks for Itself, It 

 requires no flatterinp f roin , my pon." 



LIFE SIZE 



Incomparably beautiful; selected from the choicest of millions of seedlings; the Finest, Largest, 

 Purett, Strongest and Most Fragrant Freesia the creation of which could possibly be hoped for. 

 h represents the most careful and painstaking work over a period of fourteen years. 

 We consider ourselves very fortunate in securing the control of this splendid novelty.
